Abstract
A growing body of knowledge has accumulated over the last 60 years in the field of breath odor research. This has enabled researchers and clinicians to continually build on the scientific findings, devising better means for understanding, diagnosing, and managing this common human condition. However, some important questions regarding this issue are still left open and require further investigation.
